What data sources does PropData use?

PropData aggregates 10 sources: County Assessor Records, HUD Fair Market Rents, Zillow ZORI, Realtor.com Research, Redfin Market Tracker, US Census ACS, FHFA House Price Index, FRED macro data, and a proprietary Estimate Engine (mortgage rates, shelter CPI, housing starts). Plus a proprietary weighted rent estimate engine. All normalized and served from Cloudflare edge cache at sub-50ms.

How is PropData different from RentCast?

PropData charges a flat $49/month with zero per-call fees. RentCast charges $0.01–0.05 per API call — at 10,000 calls/month that is $100–500. PropData also includes ten data sources vs RentCast's rent estimates only: sale-to-list ratio, vacancy rates, median income, home price appreciation, and computed investor signals are not available in RentCast. Free tier available with no credit card required.

How fast is the PropData API?

PropData is built on Cloudflare Workers with a KV edge cache. All market data is cached at the edge with a 7-day TTL, resulting in average response times under 50ms globally.

What areas does PropData cover?

PropData covers all 50 US states plus DC at the ZIP, state, and metro level. Over 33,000 ZIP codes are covered for rent and market data.
